We do not control these third-party websites and encourage you to read the privacy policy of each site you visit before providing them with any personal information.

5.	HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR CONSENT?
5.1	The WFH considers you to have validly consented to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information if (i) you give your express written or oral consent; (ii) you voluntarily provide personal information for an obvious purpose; or (iii) if you do not object to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information by the WFH within a reasonable time after the WFH has given you clear notice, including through this Policy, of its intention to do so and the intended purposes.
5.2	In some cases, the WFH may collect personal information about an individual without their consent in accordance with the Acts or any other law or regulation that permits doing so.

10.	PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY OF MINORS

12.	SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE QUÉBEC
12.1	Your personal information is processed and stored in Québec. In order to carry out our mission, we may in some cases store, process and transfer your information around the world, including outside Québec or to jurisdictions outside your country of residence — if you are located in the Economic European Area or Switzerland, please review Appendix A "Additional terms" which apply to you in addition to the main terms of this Policy. Data may also be stored locally on the devices you use to access WFH Websites and/or Platforms.

Any transfer will also be subject to appropriate contractual agreements to ensure adequate protection.

17.	CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
17.1	WFH will review and update its policies and procedures as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and standards.

1.2 This Policy replaces and updates the WFH Website Privacy Policy (IT 003).

2.1

This Policy generally applies to:

any personal information of a factual or subjective nature about an identifiable individual collected through the Websites and/or Platforms on which this Policy is posted, or through any other interactions you may have with us;

3. DEFINITION OF "PERSONAL INFORMATION"

3.1	When used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information about an individual that can be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, address, email address, telephone number, gender, banking details, employment, health or other information.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF WFH

5.2 In some cases, the WFH may collect personal information about an individual without their consent in accordance with the Acts or any other law or regulation that permits doing so.

6. WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

6.1	We strongly believe in both minimizing the information we collect and limiting its use and purpose. WFH uses your personal information only for the purposes and for the duration required for which it was collected, or for any use that may be required or permitted by legal compliance, government request, court order or other lawful purpose.
6.2	We collect personal information for a variety of reasons. In general, WFH collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill its mission. We may also collect information for administrative purposes — to better understand the visitors who come to our websites and/or Platforms and the content of our websites and/or Platforms that is of interest to them. The purposes for which we collect personal information include, but are not limited to: Improve the content, offering, appearance and usefulness of our Websites and/or Platforms; Send, subject to your right to withdraw your consent as set out in this Policy, periodic emails; Personalize your experience by responding to your needs; Provide you with information or resources you have requested; Process a donation and issue tax receipts; Meet legal and regulatory requirements; Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities for risk management, fraud detection and security purposes.
6.3	Wherever possible, rather than using personal information, we will anonymize and/or aggregate personal information so that it no longer identifies an individual and use it for the purposes stated above or for any purpose permitted by law.
6.4	If we ever wish to use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those specifically described in this Policy, we will obtain your consent.

7. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

7.1	WFH only collects personal information that is directly related to one of our programs or activities. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive and used for limited purposes. We collect only the information we need.
7.2	The WFH collects information on its Websites and/or Platforms in two ways:
7.2.1	Information you provide directly to us: In many cases, we collect personal information directly from you when you provide your information by subscribing to our Newsletter, when you fill out other forms on our Websites and/or Platforms, when you make an inquiry or when you contact us in person or through the WFH Websites and/or Platforms. The provision of this information is strictly voluntary. We strongly encourage you not to provide any information beyond what is necessary.
7.2.2	Information collected automatically: You should be aware that when you access or browse our Websites and/or Platforms, an exchange of information, subject to your prior consent, takes place automatically between your device and WFH's hosting environment. This exchange is required only because of the technological demands inherent in Internet browsing and is used for statistical purposes to improve your experience — the information exchanged does not identify you personally. The information exchanged is as follow: The domain name of your internet service provider; Your computer's truncated IP address (your IP address is changed, making it impossible to link to you); The type of browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and operating system (Windows, Mac OS, etc.) used; The date and time of your visit; The pages you consult and the duration of these consultations; The address of the referring site, if you access WFH Websites and Platforms from another site. WFH retains only the information necessary to count the number of visitors, the most frequently visited pages, the technology used by visitors, the referring sites and the country of origin of visitors. This information is not used in any way to compile, communicate or exchange lists of users/visitors.
7.3	By using the WFH Websites and/or Platforms, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy.

8. USE OF COOKIES

8.1	The main types of data collected on WFH Websites and/or Platforms are cookies and personalization settings. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded when you visit certain pages of a site and stored in the memory of the device you are using. Cookies are completely harmless and cannot contain any viruses. They enable certain information (browser type, language, country, identifier, etc.) to be recorded and retrieved by the server on subsequent visits. Under no circumstances do cookies allow visitors to be identified. The data remains completely anonymous and is used only to facilitate browsing and improve the WFH’s Websites and/or Platforms based on the needs of its visitors.
8.2	If you do not wish cookies to be used, your browser options can be configured to refuse and/or delete cookies. Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may deprive you of certain functions offered on our Websites and/or Platforms. In addition, this procedure must be repeated for each browser and computer used.
8.3	Google Analytics. We also gather information automatically about visits to our Websites and/or Platforms to help us maintain and improve its design, and to evaluate traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of week at which we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative popularity of different areas of the Websites and/or Platforms. We use Google Analytics to gather this data and analyze it. Google Analytics collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and may also track a visitor’s movement within the site, but does not collect personal information about the visitor. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent information about your visits to our Websites and/or Platforms being sent to Google Analytics. Our web statistics software (Google Analytics) collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and we may also track a user’s movement within the Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data to improve our Websites and/or Platforms performance.
8.4	Meta Pixel. WFH also uses web beacons (“Pixels”) to analyze visitor activity to our Websites and/or Platforms. We use Meta Pixel to collect information about your interactions with our Websites and/or Platforms, such as pages visited, actions taken, buttons clicked and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks. Web beacons do not contain any personal information but may contain a unique identifier necessary for retargeting and targeted advertising. Meta Pixel allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions you take on our Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data solely for analytical purposes to improve our services and deliver more relevant content.

11.2	As part of the services offered by our external suppliers. WFH may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this Policy to service providers and other third parties we use to support our organization.

11.3	In the context of a legal obligation. WFH may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, in accordance with applicable law, to combat fraud or harms to WFH or our members, or if we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of WFH or others.

Any transfer will also be subject to appropriate contractual agreements to ensure adequate protection.

13. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Organizaciones nacionales miembros: El corazón de la FMH

La Federación Mundial de Hemofilia (FMH) fue fundada en 1963 por Frank Schnabel, un hombre de negocios nacido con hemofilia A grave. Su visión era mejorar el tratamiento y la atención para las personas con hemofilia a escala mundial, mediante una nueva organización internacional conformada por grupos miembros independientes. La FMH colaboraría con estos grupos ‒los cuales pronto serían conocidos como organizaciones nacionales miembros u ONM‒ a fin de proporcionarles apoyo a la medida de sus realidades. Ahora, casi seis décadas después, uno de los objetivos clave de la FMH sigue siendo apoyar a las ONM y compartir su aprendizaje con el propósito de maximizar el intercambio de conocimientos e información e incrementar el nivel general de atención alrededor del mundo.

También disponible en: English Français

Las ONM son fundadas por partes interesadas locales comprometidas ‒y, con frecuencia, dedicadas de por vida‒ a mejorar el nivel de atención de las personas con hemofilia y otros trastornos de la coagulación en sus países. Estos líderes locales conocen bien la situación vigente, los desafíos que enfrentan, y la mejor manera de salir adelante en sus respectivos países. Asimismo, los pacientes que interactúan con las ONM saben que colaboran con una organización que realmente se preocupa por ellos, que comprende su situación específica, que conoce a los centros de tratamiento y a los médicos y ‒posiblemente lo más importante‒ que está comprometida con la comunidad. De una primera reunión con tan solo 12 representantes de países en 1963, la FMH ahora cuenta con 147 ONM.

Como organización fundada a partir del principio de hacer realidad la atención sustentable a largo plazo para la comunidad mundial de trastornos de la coagulación, la FMH considera que solamente trabajando en estrecha colaboración con las ONM podrá lograr su visión compartida de Tratamiento para todos. Por tanto, nuestro enfoque es crear guías y herramientas, y fomentar un foro para el intercambio colaborativo con el propósito de apoyar a las ONM a fin de posibilitar la atención sustentable y duradera.

La FMH colabora con sus ONM de muchas maneras, dependiendo de su nivel de desarrollo. Las organizaciones recién establecidas empiezan su relación con la FMH a través de la Iniciativa Piedra Angular de la FMH, cuyo objetivo es cerrar la brecha en la atención para las personas con trastornos de la coagulación proporcionando apoyo, experiencia y capacitación a países con niveles de atención mínimos. De manera concurrente, las ONM de países que requieren donaciones de factor de coagulación reciben apoyo del Programa de Ayuda Humanitaria de la FMH.

Las ONM que han participado con éxito en la Iniciativa Piedra angular de la FMH pueden inscribirse a iniciativas por país o tener acceso a programas más avanzados, tales como el Programa de la FMH de Acceso a Atención y Tratamiento (PACT por su sigla en inglés), una iniciativa de cinco años de duración diseñada para ayudar a las ONM a incrementar la identificación y el diagnóstico de personas con trastornos de la coagulación hereditarios, así como su acceso a la atención sustentable. Otro tipo de apoyo está disponible en forma de subvenciones para el desarrollo creadas a fin de ofrecer apoyo a proyectos nuevos e innovadores de organizaciones de pacientes miembros de la FMH. Asimismo, el Programa de Hermanamiento de la FMH permite a centros de tratamiento de hemofilia y organizaciones de pacientes aliarse durante un periodo de dos a cuatro años, con el propósito de ayudar a mejorar el tratamiento y la atención, entre otras iniciativas más.

La FMH también organiza periódicamente talleres de capacitación regionales o mundiales para apoyar el desarrollo de la capacidad organizacional de sus ONM, en temas relacionados con liderazgo y gobernanza, recolección de datos y actividades de cabildeo basadas en pruebas, participación juvenil, y otras áreas de desarrollo organizacional. La capacitación mundial para ONM es la única capacitación bianual que reúne a todas las ONM para el aprendizaje y el intercambio mutuos.

Además de sus programas y subvenciones, la FMH ofrece a las ONM una amplia gama de materiales de consulta, disponibles sin cargo alguno. Recursos como las Guías de la FMH para el desarrollo de la capacidad de ONM (Guías para el DC de ONM), ideadas a fin de ofrecer a las ONM un marco de referencia sistemático para la valoración y el desarrollo de la capacidad organizacional. También hay recursos médicos disponibles, como la 3^a edición de las Guías de la FMH para el tratamiento de la hemofilia y las Guías 2021 de ASH, ISTH, NHF y FMH para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Von Willebrand (EVW) que pueden utilizarse a fin de proporcionar asesoría a los pacientes. Ambas guías se encuentran disponibles gratuitamente en la Plataforma de aprendizaje electrónico de la FMH. Las ONM y otras organizaciones también pueden utilizar otras publicaciones, tales como el Sondeo Mundial Anual (SMA), el cual es posible gracias a la colaboración de las propias ONM, para sus actividades de cabildeo.

Juntas, la FMH y las ONM trabajan unidas como una familia mundial, colaborando y compartiendo lecciones y experiencias. De este modo se incrementa el nivel de atención para los miembros de una ONM, al igual que el nivel de atención para otras ONM alrededor del mundo. Se trata de una situación ganadora para todas las partes, la cual ha estado acumulando cada vez mayores éxitos desde la fundación de la FMH hace casi 60 años.

Durante los próximos meses publicaremos las historias de diferentes ONM, de modo que el mundo pueda conocer sus inspiradoras experiencias. Manténgase al pendiente para leer esas historias. Entre tanto, le invitamos a conocer más sobre la FMH aquí.

We’ve accomplished a lot this year, we need your help to continue strong.
